11 WEEKS TO GOLD COAST

I often sound like a stuck record when it comes to preaching the importance that dedication and commitment play in achieving your goals in distance running. With some people though, it can work against you and I was one of the guilty ones. I can recall a time that I had an achilles tendon injury whilst I was based at the Australian Institute of Sport. While I was receiving treatment from the physio there was also another runner being treated for the same injury at the same time. We were both told to rest, no running until given the ok. Much to my demise I did not adhere to the physios advice and would still venture out for a run in the evenings. Whilst sneaking in one of my runs I noticed the physio driving down the road towards me and I hid behind a tree. What a dill I was, as the injury was not getting any better, worse if anything.

My Involvement in running...

I have been involved in distance running for over twenty years. Starting as a novice and progressing through to International standard. My aim is to help individuals achieve their goals, which I find extremely rewarding and allows me to somewhat share in a very special experience.

Do not limit yourself...

I have no desire to limit myself to a particular standard of runner for I appreciate and respect individuals of all levels. I have been to the school of hard knocks and learnt by my own mistakes and those of others. You will find me approachable in nature and dedicated to the cause.

My philosophy...

My training philosophy is based around the importance of consistency in your training and doing our best to avoid injury and illness along the way.  We are all at a different standard with our fitness and development. Via the natural feel that I have from being involved in the sport for over two decades I believe that I have the ability to steer you from where you presently are to where your goals beckon.
